Chapter 91

In the history of the empire, there are many precedents of holy soul wizards dying outside the wizard tower.

Every time it happened, it was a big event that shocked the whole country.

Renn's knowledge is limited, and he doesn't know why the Duke of Silver Star became the target of Shadow Blade.

Shadow Blade believes in Luoxi, the evil god who is the sworn enemy of the goddess of magic, Vejastri, who is like a street mouse in the empire, everyone shouts and beats him, and his believers have no place in the empire.

If the Duke of Silver Star can be killed by conspiracy and cause chaos, it will definitely please Luo Xi greatly.

This seems to be a reasonable reason.

Ren secretly guessed, but he was not sure.

The holy soul wizard is the most powerful spellcaster in the world, even if he leaves the wizard tower, it is not so easy to kill.

He doubted whether the Shadow Blade Killer had such a strong strength.

Ren looked at Director Felion, the legendary magic swordsman was still thinking, wondering if he knew about the Shadow Blade, or if he had other information.

A gate to the abyss is enough to arouse the vigilance of the ruling class of Longshande.

Ren thought about it, but decided to remain silent.

He has no way to explain his own affairs, and why he knows the existence of the Shadow Blade Killer, which is related to too many secrets of his own.

"I'll go to see His Excellency the Duke right away." Felion said, patted Ren on the shoulder: "This time you have made great contributions to saving Longshande, Your Excellency the Duke will not be stingy with rewards, go back and take a good rest, and wait for me good news."

"Thank you, Director." Ren responded.

"Davenlach, I need to trouble you here. Dispose of all the demon's corpses, and don't let the evil energy pollute the river." Felion continued to order.

Davenlage said seriously: "Yes, Director, I know what to do."

After speaking, Felion got into the car and left immediately.

It's okay for Ren to stay. He just went through a battle, and Davenlach was too embarrassed to let him participate in disposing of the demon's corpse, so he let him go first.

Back at Vigo Manor, it was just past half of the afternoon, and Viola hadn't come back yet.

After Ren washed up, he changed into fresh and clean clothes and lay down on the bed to rest.

In fact, he is not tired at all, and his condition is better than ever. Whether it is physical strength or mental strength, he has reached an unprecedented peak.

After lying down for a while, feeling really bored, Ren entered the training ground.

He needs to familiarize himself with his current strength.

This time I absorbed an unknown number of demon souls, and the battery was fully charged several times, most of which were used to strengthen the elements. Although he was still a second-level wizard, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, which was equivalent to not even upgrading to the third level.

Man of Steel is upgraded by one level.

Strength is enhanced by one level.

The dragon power technique has also been upgraded from the first ring to the second ring.

After consuming so much power, there are still more than 80% of the power, and the next ascension of the soul is not far away.

After more than an hour of training in the martial arts training ground, Renn had a general understanding of his own strength.

The most significant improvement is strength.

Before today, he was able to lift about 4,600 pounds; he strengthened "strength" into a rare element, and after reaching level 4, it suddenly increased to more than 7,500 pounds, an increase of nearly 3,000 pounds. strength!

If you add the second-ring dragon power technique, you can directly break through 10,000 pounds!

Ten thousand pounds of force.

Ren himself was taken aback. Changing to the weight unit of his previous life, it is roughly equivalent to a force of ten thousand catties, which can lift five tons of things!

The strength becomes stronger, and the defense is also stronger.

The Man of Steel is a transcendent element, strengthening it consumes a full 200 grids of electricity, enough to upgrade the wizard level twice, which shows how difficult it is to upgrade.

Still, a second-tier Man of Steel is definitely worth the investment.

Ren used himself as an experiment. Even with his strength and holding a sharp-edged long sword, it was difficult to cause damage to himself after the Man of Steel was activated.

He slashed wildly on his arm, jingling a few times, sparks flew, and the blade was full of gaps within a few strokes.

After cutting more than a dozen swords, the long sword used for testing broke in two.

Ren himself was also dumbfounded, and he really saw what it means to be invulnerable!

But the Man of Steel is not completely invincible. After he blesses himself with the Dragon Power Technique, he can still feel the pain when a warhammer hits his leg.

If you bombard it with full force, it is likely to be injured.

Ren didn't try again. Anyway, the spear and the shield are his own, and there is no need to distinguish between high and low.

He looked at the 80% battery in the phone interface. With so much soul power, it should be enough to upgrade the rainbow ray to the second ring, or upgrade the charge to the third level, but after a long time of serious consideration, he gave up this idea.

These two elements are sufficient for now.

His current real strength is no less than that of any mid-level transcendent, even daring to compete with high-level transcendents, which has already surpassed the scope of normal professional levels.

We should temporarily stop strengthening the elements and raise the wizard level first.

Every time you level up, you can fuse a new demon soul, get new elements, and improve your strength faster and stronger!

He was able to step up the challenge, mainly because he possessed the transcendent element of the body of steel. The role of a top-level element is much higher than that of several ordinary and rare elements.

Which of the two is more important than the other, Ren has a deep understanding and knows how to choose.

"It's only been more than half a month since I fused with the crystal monitor lizard, and I'm going to look for the third demon soul again. The upgrade is too fast, and it's not a big trouble."

Ren smiled helplessly.

He has high requirements for demon souls, and it is not easy to find the right ones, and it may take a lot of work.

In the evening, Viola returned to the manor.

She had already heard about the Abyss Gate and knew that Ren was involved in it, but she didn't know the specifics, thinking that Ren was just assisting.

Ren didn't want Viola to be too worried, so he didn't tell her the truth, and roughly told her about the process.

After hearing this, Viola also looked worried, realizing that this might be a conspiracy against the Duke of Silver Star, but she didn't have much information to draw useful conclusions.

The next day the Longsand papers carried the story.

However, the newspapers were all understatements, reporting in a very ordinary tone, saying that the demon squad had found traces of demons in the dock warehouse.

It's all gone now, so people don't have to worry about it.

Although some rumors came from the dock workers who saw the demon that day, but because the demon had not yet caused a terrible disaster, these rumors did not make much waves, and the matter quickly subsided.

However, under the calm surface, the city of Longshande is full of undercurrents.

The Duke of Silver Star ordered a thorough investigation. The sheriff and the demon squad searched the entire city, and the secret fire guards were also dispatched. The investigation went street by street, and a large number of fugitive criminals and followers of evil gods were found.

But these are believers of other evil gods and have nothing to do with Luoxi.

The chief of security, Felion, personally supervised and joined forces with the Mechanical Union to investigate all of Travec's actions in the past few months, including all the friends, colleagues, and relatives who had been in contact with Travec, but failed to find many useful clues .

This is a latent degenerate, similar to other extraordinary degenerates.

Travich has been preparing to open the gate of the abyss since he returned to work at the Mechanics Union, which shows that he got the abyss crystal shortly after his fall.

Other than that, there are no more clues.

Where did the abyss crystal come from, I don't know at all.

It can only be determined from this that Travich's depravity was deliberately induced by someone, and everything was premeditated.

But who is the mastermind behind the scenes and which force it comes from, the Public Security Bureau is not sure, and many people speculate about the Shadow Blade Killer, but there is no actual evidence.

A week later, Lane was called to the Sheriff's Office.

Outside Chief Felion's office, Wren meets Captain Pollock and Frieda.

Both of them look good, and their injuries have basically healed.

"Ren!" Pollock greeted him happily.

His skin has been healed, and he doesn't look burnt. Only his hair and eyebrows haven't grown together. A bald head looks like a marinated egg. It looks a bit weird. Human shadow, I haven't thanked you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a chance to survive."

"And me." Frieda next to her added.

Ren didn't take it seriously, and shook his head: "We are teammates, and this is what we should do. I can't watch you die in battle."

He has been concentrating on studying the phonograph recently, and he has reached a critical point, so he is soaking in Zoltan's mechanical workshop, rarely coming out except for eating and sleeping.

"Anyway, you saved me." Pollock said with a solemn expression, and the gratitude in his heart needless to say.

In fact, Pollock still feels like a dream to this day.

Under the circumstances at that time, facing the siege of so many demons, he was ready to die, but Ren suddenly stepped forward, showing terrifying power.

In the past few days, every time he recalled the process of Ren's battle to destroy the demon, he was amazed.

Pure power, charging speed, solid defense!

Relying only on a warhammer, Ren ran rampant among hundreds of demons, dancing with broken limbs and flying flesh, like a ruthless killing machine.

Violent, bloody, shocking!

Those battle scenes are deeply imprinted in his mind, and he will never forget them.

When investigating the death of Asperger, Pollock had contacted Wren.

At that time, Ren was still an ordinary person, and he felt that this young man was not simple. He must have something special to be able to escape under the hands of a second-level shadow warrior. cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, after just over two months, Rennes possessed such a powerful force.

And he saved his own life.

Pollock felt that the changes in his life were amazing, and at the same time he understood that Ryan would definitely become a legend in the future, and now it was just the beginning.

Before Ryan arrived just now, Pollock had actually communicated with Frieda in private.

They knew that Renn had deliberately reduced his role in the battle to eliminate demons. Although they couldn't hide it from the chief and the captain, some extraordinary people with vision could also see the truth from the situation in the warehouse, but this also showed Renn's Thoughts, he doesn't want to be noticed by too many people.

The two reached a consensus and decided to keep a low profile for Ryan.

Ren chatted with the two teammates for a while, knowing that they had a tacit understanding with him, so he smiled knowingly.

At this time, the director's female secretary came out of the office and invited them in.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Felion sitting behind a large desk with several stacks of documents on it, looking very busy.

"Ren, you are here." Ferrion got up and came out from behind the table with a smile on his face, and ordered the secretary to bring tea.

"Boss." The three of them called out in unison.

Felion sat down on the spacious sofa and said with a smile, "You're welcome, everyone sit down."

Ren's demeanor was as calm as usual, but Pollock and Frieda were a little reserved. They have been in the demon squad for several years, and this is the first time they have had such close contact with the director. Knowing that this is a legendary powerhouse, they are inevitably nervous.

Felion's attitude was easy-going, he cared a few words about the two people's injuries, and quickly let them relax.

Ren sighed in his heart, this legendary magic swordsman's social skills are very powerful, he has both strength and ability, no wonder he can become the confidant of the Duke of Silver Star and has been in charge of the Public Security Bureau for decades.

After chatting for a while, Felion finally got to the point.

"You destroyed the gate of the abyss. This is a great achievement. You are the heroes of this city. All the people of Longshande owe you a favor." Felion said sincerely: "Your Excellency the Duke has already drawn up Well, there are three parts in total to your commendation."

Both Pollock and Frieda listened carefully, and Ryan was also very interested.

"First of all, His Excellency the Duke will grant you the title of baron on the birthday of God at the end of the year." Felion said with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming a member of the nobility."

"By Goddess, Baron!"

Pollock was stunned for a few seconds, and then almost jumped up in surprise. Even Frieda, who was always calm, smiled happily.

Ren was also a little surprised at Duke Silver Star's generosity.

He understood Pollock and Frieda's feelings very well at this time. The greatest ideal in life for most common people in the empire was to obtain titles and become nobles.

Even if the nobility is not as powerful as it was in the early days of the empire, the Duke of Silver Star confers only honorary titles without actual fiefdoms, but for commoners and most extraordinary people, the title of nobility still has a huge appeal.

Obtaining a title means getting rid of the status of a commoner and entering the upper class of the empire, with many privileges.

Viola told Rennes about the canonization of nobles.

The title conferring ceremony is usually held at the end of the year to celebrate the goddess's birthday.

The Duke of Silver Star canonize no more than ten titles of various levels every year, and sometimes there are only two or three.

Few of the newly awarded nobles are descendants of the duke's family, and most of them are rich people who have contributed a lot of wealth to the duke.

In other words, it is to use money to buy the title of title from the Duke.

This is almost an open secret in the upper echelons of Longshande, and even some well-informed civilians have heard of the inside story.

The Imperial Knight Medal and the Imperial Jazz Medal, the winners of these two levels of medals belong to quasi-nobles, and the prices are clearly marked, five thousand gold and ten thousand gold respectively.

The title of baron is worth 20,000 gold; the title of viscount is 50,000 gold, no bargaining.

Titles above earl have fiefs and can be hereditary, so the Duke of Silver Star has never been sold.

Ren suspected that the Duke of Silver Star did not want to sell the earl, but that the money was not in place and the bid was too low.

Now the Duke of Silver Star canonized three baronet titles at once. Although it is only an honorary title, it costs almost nothing for a single sentence, but things are rare and expensive. If there are too many titles, it will affect the value of future titles. Three people can be said to be very generous.

In the entire Public Security Bureau, there are only a few people with noble titles.

According to Pollock's position, it is almost impossible to get a canonization. Now that he is going to be a nobleman, and he is still a baron, the happiness comes too suddenly, which makes him speechless for a long time with excitement.

Frieda also had ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down.

Ren's reaction was relatively flat. He only wanted to increase his strength, and he didn't yearn for the title of nobility, nor did he take it very seriously.

Of course, he will not refuse hypocritically, because becoming a nobleman himself is good for the whole family.

At the very least, you can choose a surname for yourself in the future.

Felion was a little surprised by Ren's performance. After Pollock and the two calmed down, he continued: "In addition to the title of baron, His Excellency the Duke will also reward each of you with a thousand gold, and once you enter the alchemy room of the Wizard Tower. Opportunity, choose a piece of enchanted equipment at will."

"In addition, the Public Security Bureau will give you some rewards, increase your salary and benefits. After you return from the wizard's tower, Davenlahe will tell you personally."

"Now you follow me and enter the wizard's tower."

Felion didn't care about the wonderful reactions on the faces of the few people, and got up and went out. It was not until Renn turned his head to remind twice that Pollock and Frieda woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and quickly followed.
